At WithersRavenel, our work in water and wastewater is more than just engineering – it’s about protecting communities, sustaining resources, and improving quality of life for generations to come. We are looking for a Project Manager who is ready to lead with both technical and heart.
As a Project Manager, you’ll guide meaningful projects that ensure safe, reliable, and sustainable water systems. You’ll contribute with municipalities, clients, and internal teams to solve complex challenges, while mentoring the next generation of engineers who share your passion for making a difference.
It’s an opportunity to be a trusted advisor, to listen deeply to client needs, to bring innovative solutions forward, and to see your work flow into the daily lives of thousands of people.
This opportunity is a hybrid role based out of our Greensboro, North Carolina office.
What you’ll do:
- Lead diverse water/wastewater projects that strengthen community infrastructure
- Build relationships with clients grounded in trust, respect, and long-term partnership
- Mentor and inspire others to grow as professionals and problem-solvers
- Balance technical excellence with creativity and compassion in every solution
We’re more than an engineering firm. We’re 100% employee-owned, which means every decision we make is about people, not shareholders. You’ll have a voice here, and the chance to grow both your career and your impact.
- A culture of trust, collaboration, and professional development
- Opportunities to work on meaningful projects that improve the sustainability of communities
- Flexibility to thrive – balancing your career with your life outside of work
- Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or equivalent experience
- Licensed Professional Engineer
- 7+ years of engineering/industry experience with demonstrated team management experience
- Experience managing utility (primarily water and sewer related) projects; preference given to public sector projects
- Self-motivated, engaged, and team-oriented with the ability to work independently under minimal supervision
- Strong leadership and project management skills as well as excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills
